...una bestia de metal y aire...
La Jornada Michoacán, 2004
Terrazas is able to scavenge and find beauty in what is left.
Max Go, 2007
Un sonido asimétrico, que rechina, que vocifera hasta el límite, que es libre de principio a fin. Y lo mejor de ese sonido es que te exige, al escucharlo, que tú también lo seas, que tú también rompas el molde, salgas de lo convencional.
Gabriel Trujillo, 2011
That Wilfrido is -pardon me- a mother fucker.
Roscoe Mitchell, 2011
You turned the flute into an extreme sport.

I'd say Wilfrido Terrazas is a Mexican revolutionary.

Wilfrido Terrazas just shattered me. So unbelievably moving.
Nicholas Deyoe, 2018
Professor Terrazas' compositions are innovative. To be honest, when I first started listening, they sounded a bit bizarre. However, as I listened more, the improvisations with flute gave me the feeling of being integrated into ever-changing nature.
Chu Li, a student in my Mexican folk music class at UCSD, 2020
Wilfrido Terrazas continues to push the envelope for state-of-the-art contemporary flute performance.
Paul Muller, Sequenza 21, 2021
What you do with the flute stretches tired and trusted definitions.

Artista necesario, Wilfrido es de los que amplían nuestra inteligencia sonora allende las fronteras.
